Each year, fellows meet with our program director to discuss strategies and opportunities for achieving career goals after fellowship. Potential options include staff positions within Mayo Clinic and among competitive programs nationwide. Since 2003, 40 out of 44 graduating fellows have found transplant faculty positions.
The Abdominal Transplant Surgery Fellowship matches two fellows per year. A second fellow will be matched through our new Abdominal Transplant and Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery Fellowship each year. In addition, each fellow is provided with ample opportunity to complete clinical research projects and present at national meetings. Since many of our faculty are involved extensively in research endeavors, there is an option for a pre-clinical research year within our fellowship program. If this is something you are interested in, contact our Education Coordinator.
